Nintendo is going after the developers of the open source switch emulator Yuzu (arstechnica.com)

Seriously what is this? Nintendo argues that by instructing users how to extract the prod.keys from their own switch the yuzu developers are essencially infringing on the DMCA.

So what? Now you can't even freely use your own property anymore because it goes against the design intentions of some big company that just want's to milk their users?

Nintendo goes directly after this argument in its lawsuit, arguing that buying a Switch game only means you "have Nintendo's authorization to play that single copy on an unmodified Nintendo Switch console."

Just transpose this statement to a white person in a slave state during slavery and you see how this is an issue.

You dont need to move but calling it „doomerism“ is completely out of touch.

People are dying in your streets and it would be prudent to at least show enough respect that privilege is not a position to speak down from.

Sure, just change the words in what I said and it will mean something different. Let's change your words around too.

Thats not how this works. You dont change the words or the meaning. You change the perpective to show why this is a problem.

You speak from a position of privilege. People who are in dire need of help dont have that privilege. You calling their issues or the descritption doomerism is out of touch.

I'm helping people out by letting them know that their doomerism is an ingredient in their own failure. When all you can imagine is your own failure, you will most likely achieve what you believe in.

When you open your mind to realize that the possibilities are endless, you can see solutions that you ignored out of pessimism and begin to adapt in the ways that allow you to overcome adversity. Even the smallest microcosm of any ecosystem has infinite possibilities within it. On the macro scale of human life, these possibilities are only limited by the imagination and will of the human animal. So when you assume everything is going to shit and you'll never win, you already failed by crippling your own imagination.

I dont know why you‘re going off on a tangent right there but alas. I dont have time for this.
